This is the very groupthe group of dualnationalsthat the Committee on Immigration for years has been trying to investigate. Other people who may be put in the same class are still in this country today. For years the Committee on Immigration sought from this Congress and from the membership of this House the right of subpena. but the House refused and only recently defeated a resolutionHouse Resolution 433which would have given us this authority. I propose to submit this whole question to the American people directly. I am going to let the American people decide what they desire to do about the action of Congress and the performance of some of the men on this floor who let intolerance and personal prejudice determine their action in spite of the facts I presented on the floor of this House.
